> How can I pass or set the value of pset variable for an regression test?

I just wrote some tests using \pset columns to control the output.

Having figured out what the point of the patch is I'm pretty happy
with the functionality. It definitely is something I would appreciate
having.

One thing I noticed is that it's not using the formatting characters
to indicate newlines and wrapping. I'm trying to add that myself but
it's taking me a bit to figure out what's going on in the formatting
code. I do have a feeling this is all rearranging the deck chairs on
an obsolete technology and this should all be replaced with a web ui.
